Warning as rains fall again in flood-hit Bombay

Authorities warned residents to remain at home today after heavy rains began falling again across Bombay and the surrounding state, which were hammered last week by devastating floods.

Clean-up efforts and the distribution of food supplies to needy residents were badly slowed by the renewed monsoon rains, which began early this morning, and aviation officials ordered the city’s airports, the busiest in the country, closed because of poor visibility.
